An important part of any library collection that supports art and design are Exhibition Catalogues and Annual publications. These publications showcase work that is notable in the field, record bodies of work of and critical texts about artists and designers, and can act as snapshots of the art and design worlds at certain moments in time.

In order to not miss any important publications from selected galleries and publishers, we have set up standing orders with our supplier Arts Bibliographic, who send us copies of any publications from these places when they are released. If you’re interested in seeing what institutions/publishers  we hold standing orders with, there’s now an Aspire list that contains that information, and you can take a look here.
